For the first time, the city of Denver is getting a mural dedicated to its once-bustling historic Chinatown.

Monday, Oct. 31, is the 2nd anniversary of Denver's Chinatown Commemoration Day, and along with that celebration the Colorado Asian Pacific United group is announcing its new mural project, which will honor the history of the Chinese community. CBS News Colorado got an exclusive look at the project and spoke to the artist whose mural was selected.
